02:33For Bobby Witt Junior.

02:34Number nine hitter now in Hizokar.

02:37Listic to short.

02:39And Witt makes the play.

02:40And it's getting up to get the out.

02:42You got to time it because he hit a changeup, but that's good timing.

02:44The young superstar.

02:47Reaching out, Bobby Wood Jr. into the outfield.

02:51Unbelievable play.

02:53And a double play.

02:54Oh, he's going to turn it.

02:56Stop it.

02:57Oh, man, on his 24th birthday.

03:02Goldie, it's a great situation.

03:04Those two guys are outstanding.

03:06Their personalities are wonderful.

03:07Get in.

03:08And he will.

03:10Wow.

03:12C.J. Alexander doing all he can to try to knock that ball down or make a play.

03:18And when he's not, Junior's there.

03:24Deep in the hole, Bobby Wood Jr. shows off a cannon to finish off the top of the seventh.

03:31Trying to get him back out to gain a little confidence.

03:35Deep short, Junior's throw is in time to get the pinch hitter jolks.

03:41Man, I didn't know you're not going to get on base there, but a nice try.

03:44That ball was in the hole.

03:46Junior sat and fired.

03:47But the point is that James McArthur should be expecting the best now in this row.

03:53No way.

03:55Whoa!

03:56Oh, my!

03:58He just can't draw it up any better.

04:00Junior, for the last out of diving play in the hole.

04:04That's two great backhands in the inning to end it.

04:07McArthur got some help by the greatest player on, hottest player on earth right now.

04:12Junior, to the middle, slides, stands, throws him out.

04:19Not Bobby baseball.

04:20He can do it all.

04:22Look how he snapped to his feet, transferred the ball from glove to hand, got his direction.

04:28Three and two.

04:29The pitch.

04:30And a swing.

04:31And a little popper.

04:32Shallow left.

04:33Bobby on the run.

04:34Can he get there?

04:35Sliding.

04:36He makes the catch.

04:36Gallo hits a line drive and a diving play by Bobby Witt, Jr.

04:43Defense showing up.

04:45Pitching out of the bullpen, showing up.

04:48Timely hits so far.

04:50Royals seem to be back on their game.

04:52So now Stanton.

04:53He had 27 homers during the season.

04:55He's easy to double up.

04:56Hit to short.

04:57Witt gets the force.

04:59Can they turn two?

05:00Yes, they can, and it's just the point we were making.

05:02It's not Giancarlo's fault.

05:04A near-base hit, couldn't beat it out at the other end, turns into a double play.

05:08Hoping Lugo can finish off Judge and the Yankees at the first, but a line drive that's speared by Witt.

05:14Well, one MVP quality player robs another.

05:19Judge hit it right on the nose.

05:21So now with the bases empty and two out, here's Stanton, who doubled his first time up.

05:26Fly ball to center.

05:28Shallow center.

05:29Who's going to take it?

05:30Witt out from shortstop with an over-the-shoulder catch.

05:33Illinois.

05:41There's no need to聞こate.

05:43I'm sorry.

05:43I can try a number.

05:44We should touch the spot.

05:49We should feel confused and believe it's not uncommon.

05:51Let's see if you can't wait.

05:54We should break a number.

05:56Let's see if you can also see it.

05:58Wait till the final question.

05:59Do like what are these two contrasts?
